Title: The Valquez Bride
Author: Melanie Milburne
Genre: Contemporary, Romance
A wedding night she'll never forget!
Untouched Theodora Marlstone always wanted the fairy-tale wedding - a white dress and an adoring groom. Instead she's walking up the aisle toward a marriage of convenience to outrageously attractive Argentinean Alejandro Valquez! He promises raw sensuality, not devotion, but thanks to her father's will, Teddy must say "I do"....
Alejandro never wanted a wife, but his buttoned-up bride is a delicious present just waiting to be unwrapped. Beneath the white silk lies a woman who exceeds his wildest imagination, and it's clear that this union will burn the very paper it's written on!
